Do you think Yoda saw all of his past students in Luke?

He saw that rage and unquenchable desire for a system corrupted to be changed, just like Dooku? He saw that peace and patience and desire to learn that Qui-Gon had? The same sass and empathy that Obi-Wan held? The same desire to live up to the people who came before him, just like Ahsoka?

And, of course, he saw Anakin there. In blue eyes and lopsided grin. In the affectionate touch to a droid. In the raw power, the untapped potential that could sway to the light or the dark so easily.

Do you think he saw the best and worst of them all? Do you think he looked at Luke and remembered training Dooku? Do you think he saw Luke heading in the direction of a maverick and missed Qui-Gon? Do you think he watched Luke grow and learn and all he could think about was that pure, uncorrupted kid from Tatooine? The kid who wanted to free slaves, the kid who fell in love hard and fast, the kid whose trust was hardwon, the kid who grew up into the antithesis of everything he once was?

Do you ever wonder what was going through Yoda’s mind on long nights? When Luke would get impatient and storm off, only to return a few moments later, calm and ready to try again. Do you think he held onto that fear, the fear that stuck with him for so long, that yet another member of his lineage would die before their time or turn to the Dark Side or just leave entirely?

Do you ever think of Yoda trying to hide things from Luke, only to get tired of it? He told Luke about his sister. The one secret that would have died with him. Artoo can’t tell anybody. Everyone else who knows - Padme, Bail, Obi-Wan - is dead. They could have just left him in the dark. They could have taken that secret and not let it potentially sway Luke’s emotions one way or the other.

That was the plan, wasn’t it? Obi-Wan is surprised when he finds out that Yoda told Luke. The plan had to have been to not tell him, to never tell him, to never risk Luke forming an unhealthy attachment to his sister that would lead him down the path of the Dark Side. That would never start Leia on the path of becoming a Jedi, meaning she would never even be at risk.

But, Yoda was dying. He was dying and he had so long to think of all the things he should have done differently. He was dying and he looked up at Luke, who they were putting the weight of the world on. They were telling Luke that the future of the galaxy was entirely on his shoulders. The sale of absolutely everyone was on him and him alone. They told him he was the last Jedi.

So Yoda must have looked up and seen that pressure. That loneliness. The Jedi of old had large communities. They lived and breathed and grew with each other. They never felt alone, because they always had someone to turn to, someone to talk to, someone they trusted to keep their head above water.

And here they were, leaving Luke alone. Telling him to rebuild the Jedi Order. Telling him to kill his own father. Telling him to kill the Emperor, but not out of anger or hatred or guilt.

Yoda figured out that this would just make it all happen again. Dooku turned because he didn’t trust the Jedi Order and he felt alone. Anakin turned because he didn’t trust the Jedi Order and he felt alone. If Luke was sent to face off against two of the most powerful Force-users, both of whom are Sith, then he would only lose faith in Yoda and Obi-Wan, and he would feel all alone, and he would turn to the Dark Side.

I think Yoda told Luke about Leia out of a desire to give Luke that support system. The Jedi all had bonds with each other, with their teachers and students, but even without bonds, they were still functionally telepaths. They were empaths. They needed a strong support system to be there when the weight got too much to bear. When the darkness of the galaxy weighed on them, when the failures of the past haunted them, when they felt so lost and confused and empty, they had each other. And that’s what Yoda was giving Luke.

He was trying to say, “Even without your father, you won’t be alone. Even without me or Obi-Wan, you won’t be alone. You’ll always have another person, a person who can and has built you up and kept your head above water. A person who you’ve done the same for. You support each other, you’ve supported each other for years now, and you will always continue to support each other.”

Luke and Leia aren’t “attached” to each other. They’re each others’ safety net. They need each other, but not out of attachment. They need each other as everyone needs someone or something to remind them of all the good things in the world when things get rough. They remind each other that they need to fight, to live on. They remind each other that the galaxy is good at its core, filled with good people who just need some help.

They remind each other that they aren’t alone. They trust each other. They don’t need the power of the Dark Side.

And that’s why it’s so important to remember that Yoda told Luke there was another Skywalker. Yoda, who has been against attachment since the beginning, is the one who risks Luke getting attached. It’s important because this is a major character moment for Yoda!

He sees them. All of them. Dooku felt alone and left them behind to try and feel power to feel safe. Qui-Gon died alone, with only Obi-Wan there to help him, far away from the Jedi. Obi-Wan died alone. Anakin felt alone and abandoned and wanted power to feel safe. Ahsoka felt alone and abandoned and left the Order, because she no longer trusted them. They all lost it, that safety net, those people who were always around them to keep them above water, that support system that reminded them that they weren’t alone and they would never be abandoned and —

Don’t you think Yoda blames himself?

His own Padawan felt like he had no choice but to leave. Obi-Wan feared attachment out of fear of being cast aside, of being abandoned. Anakin fought that desire for attachment, that desire for someone to be there when he fell, and he when he finally got even a hint of it, he hid it out of fear of it being taken away and him being abandoned for having needed it in the first place.

Of course Yoda blames himself. He outlived all of them. He’s far older than them. And his own fear of his loss overpowering him, the fear that watching everyone he loves die over and over again beause of how much longer he’ll live than any of them, is what kept his Lineage from having those safety nets in place. Those support beams.

He looks at Luke and he sees that rage that Dooku had, that eagerness to learn that Qui-Gon had, that empathy that Obi-Wan had, that innocent desire to help that Ahsoka had—

And he sees that little boy from Tatooine. The one who grew up into a monster. The one who grew distorted and disfigured and who hated them all and tore them all down. That possibility lives within Luke to. The overwhelming weight of responsibility put on one person’s shoulders, the same weight that Palpatine used to manipulate Anakin into believing that none of the Jedi could ever help or understand him.

Yoda tells Luke about Leia. He isn’t specific, he doesn’t name a name, but he knows he doesn’t have to. He doesn’t want Luke to feel lost and abandoned and alone. He wants Luke to feel strong. He gives Luke that support beam. That attachment that could so quickly overwhelm him or become unhealthy. He gives Luke this because Luke trusts him, and he doesn’t want Luke to feel like he can’t trust him.

He doesn’t want any Jedi to feel alone. He doesn’t want to see them fall to the same things the Jedi in the past did.

But most importantly, Yoda cared for the Jedi. All of them, and especially his own students. He feels their loss, even lightyears away. He wouldn’t have felt the loss of life if he didn’t care for them, not from such a far distance. And he wouldn’t have been as affected by it if he didn’t care about them. He cared about the Jedi, about his students and his Lineage and even about the little runt that Qui-Gon brought back from Tatooine.

He cares about Luke. He has so much faith in Luke. He doesn’t want Luke to die like the others. He doesn’t want Luke to die alone and feeling abandoned.

Yoda gave Luke that attachment. Because he didn’t want Luke to drown under the weight of everything they were expecting of him.

The Bond Between Us ~ 76

THE BOND BETWEEN US MASTERLIST

< previous chapter

Word Count: 4,220ish

Summary: You open up to Luke and Leia. Han and Leia’s relationship progresses. You and Obi-Wan talk.

Notes: A lot kind of happens in this one! So brace yourself! Please comment, reblog, and/or send in an ask. I’d love to see reactions. (Likes don’t count.)

The celebrations lasted well over a week. The Rebels decided to stay on Endor for a while, wanting to come up with a plan to start to pick up the pieces of the broken Republic. After the celebrations died down, you asked Luke and Leia to come away with you for a day. You didn’t take them too far away from the Ewoks’ home base. It was hard to slip away as Leia and you were being asked to attend meetings to help form the New Republic.

Once the three of you were able to get away to somewhere private, you told them the truth about the family's past.

How you and Anakin were found on Tatooine and brought to the Jedi Temple, only to be separated.

How you were trained by the Jedi Council themselves while Obi-Wan trained Anakin.

You told them about the prophecy regarding the Chosen One and how you and Anakin were believed to be it.

You told them of you reuniting with Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padme, just before the Clone Wars began.

You told them of what you believed they needed to know of the Clone Wars, avoiding the areas that were still hard for you to speak about.

The end of the Clone Wars was where you got emotional and had to take a brief break alone before telling them out the Empire officially came to be.

You could feel and see the mixture of emotions the two were feeling as you told them the story—their story. It took a majority of the day to explain everything that you were willing and allow them to ask you questions. Leia was the one you could tell was struggling with this the most.

The trauma that Leia had endured at the hand of her own father clearly was making her hurt in anger and heartbreak. You wished that you could take away her pain, but you knew that she needed to work through it in her own time and way.

“Any other questions for me?” You asked, carefully eyeing your niece and nephew.

“Yes, Aunt Y/N, I do have a question,” Luke responded. You could tell he was nervous. His emotions were seeping out into the Force only to serve as a reminder to you that he was still young and not fully trained—despite everything.

“Yes, Luke? What is it?”

“I would like to restore the Jedi Order and I would like your help with it.”

Your answer was sift and firm, almost making Luke flinch away. “No.” You shook your head adamantly. “No. I will not help you restore the Order.”

Luke was clearly confused. “But why not? You are the last known living member of the Order—“

“It doesn’t matter. The Order is no longer needed.”

“Peacekeepers are needed. The Jedi are needed. Especially as we work to restore the Republic. It can be a reminder as to the days of old.”

“If that is your reasoning, then I will forsake never help you with that.”

“I don’t understand.”

“You’re right, you don’t. And there is no possible way you would ever.”

“Y/N, you have to admit there needs to be a place to train Force-sensitive beings again. There needs to be a place—a reminder—that they no longer need to live in fear.”

“Yes, they need to be trained but restoring the Order is not the way.”

“What was so bad about the Jedi Order? You just told us your story, did you not? What are you not telling us? What happened that you could possibly hate it so much?”

Flashes of moments you had in the Order flitted through your mind. The separation of you and Anakin. Your separation from the rest of the Order so that the Council could carefully train you themselves. Obi-Wan telling you that the Council saw you as the Chosen One. The Rako Hardeen incident. Your choice to have children being taken away.

“I will help you teach those who are Force-sensitive how to harness their power,” you carefully told Luke, “but I will not help you restore the Jedi Order.”

“That wasn’t an answer to my questions,” Luke pressed. “Why can’t you just be honest with us?”

“Because I don’t want to recount my entire time in the Order to you! I do not owe that to you or anyone else!”

Leia quickly came between the two of you. “I think we need to be done for the day,” she suggested. “Y/N, why don’t you—“ Before she could finish, you had disappeared into the forest. She sighed.

“She needs to be honest with us,” Luke insisted. “We can’t understand—we can’t help if she isn’t fully honest with us.”

“Luke, from what she has told us, it is clear that most of her life has been traumatic. If she is keeping things from us, it is only to protect us.”

~~~

“Little star,” Obi-Wan called, appearing on a log as you walked by.

“Obi,” you breathed out, feeling immediately better by his presence.

You went over and flung your arms around him, placing yourself in his lap. You were so grateful for your bond, giving you the ability to feel Obi-Wan.

“What’s the matter, darling?” Obi-Wan asked as he held you close.

“They’ll never understand,” tears pricked your eyes as you buried your head into Obi-Wan’s neck.

“Understand what?”

“What the Order put me through—put Anakin and you through. I know that you had a better experience with the Jedi Order than I did, but—“

“My little star,” Obi-Wan pulled back so that he could place a hand against your cheek and look you in the eye. “As soon as you entered into my life, your experience with the Order was mine. Your pain and sadness and grief were mine. Our bond made sure of that. It only may have seemed that my experience was better because I did not have a burden as you and Anakin did.”

“Luke wants to restore the Jedi Order. He has asked for my help, but I cannot do it… though I once obeyed and respected all the beliefs of the Jedi Order, I can no longer do that.”

Obi-Wan sighed. “Putting together a new Order is wise… But do not do something that you are uncomfortable with. Let Luke do what he feels is right, what the Force is telling him to do, while you do the same for yourself.”

You nodded, sighing as you leaned into him more. “Though I see you, I still miss you Obi-Wan. So much.”

“I miss you too, little star.”

“Why can’t I join you yet?”

“Please do not think like that… I want you at my side more than anything, but I also want you to live. This is your chance. Explore the Galaxy. Help those in need. Do the things that you weren’t able to.”

“I wasn’t able to freely be with you, Obi. I want that.”

“In time, my little star. Our time will come. Until then, I need you to continue being strong and being there for those you love. Promise me that you will do that, for me.”

You nodded. “I promise.”

~~~

When Luke and Leia arrived back without you, Han insisted that he go after you. He knew that you could take care of yourself just fine, but he didn’t like the idea that you were upset out in the forest alone and he needed to talk to you. There was something pressing on his mind and heart, something big. Han wasn’t going to do anything without speaking to you about it first. He found you sitting on a log, by yourself, staring at the two lightsabers in your hands.

“Hey, kid,” he greeted. You smirked at the term of endearment as he came to sit beside you, eyes not leaving the weapons in your hands. “Leia told me the talk was rough.”

“It was fine, until the end,” you admitted.

“Yeah, well, it didn’t stop being rough. When Leia and Luke came back, the two were bickering about Leia training in the Force.”

“I’m sure that that went well… I know that Luke has good intentions, but he cannot force anyone into anything. He needs to meet us where we are. And that may not be where he thinks we are or where he thinks we need to be.”

“And where are you? What are your plans since the war is over?”

You sighed. “The war is not over… the fight to put the New Republic in place has only just begun.”

“You willing to put up the fight? You have every right to rest. You’ve been fighting a long time.”

“I have… a long time. But I will not do anything that pulls me too far from my family.”

“Yeah, Leia told me about that. Can’t say that I saw that one coming.”

“Well, it was a secret for a reason. Those two have the ability to change the Galaxy, and those of us who understood that did what we thought was best.”

“I can’t imagine what it was like to make those decisions.”

“It was all… traumatic. I guess my whole life could be summed up in that one world.”

Han didn’t know what to say. He didn’t know enough of your past to truly understand what you meant by that. He sighed as he placed his arm around you and pulled you into his side. You gave him a light smile before resting your head on his shoulder.

“You’re a good guy, Han,” you admitted. “Leia’s a lucky girl.”

“Well, I’m glad you think that because there’s something that I wanted to talk to you about.”

You pulled back to give Han a curious look. You could sense his nervousness now, especially as one of his hands raked through his hair. Placing a hand on the top of his knee, you gave him an encouraging smile.

“Since neither of Leia’s fathers are around, I thought I would ask you and Luke for permission to marry Leia.”

“What?” You breathed out in surprise.

“I asked Luke before I came to find you. Your permission is the one I know Leia and I care about the most.”

“Han, of course you can have my permission to marry Leia. I’m so excited for you both.” You wrapped your arms around Han, bringing him into a hug.

Han hugged back. “Thank you. Now I just have to ask Leia if she’ll marry me.”

“She’ll say yes, I know it.”

~~~

You were right. Leia quickly said yes to Han’s question and wedding planning got started. Leia made sure that you were included every step of the way. You were the closest thing she had to a mother currently, both of you knew that, so you were very happy to do whatever she needed.

The wedding day came soon, as there was so much to do to form the New Republic that Leia wanted to be a part of. You and Leia were alone in one of the Ewok huts, getting ready together. Leia was brushing out her long, brown hair as you stood behind her and tried not to stare. Leia was gorgeous, which she got from both of her parents but especially her mother. Oh, how Padme and Anakin would want to be here for this day. Leia noticed you staring in the dirty, old mirror someone had brought into the hut. She placed the brush on her lap as she turned to look at you.

“Is everything alright?” She questioned.

You shook your head, pulling yourself out of your thoughts. “Yeah, everything’s fine,” you replied, trying to pull off a convincing smile. Leia easily saw through it. She gave you a knowing look, causing you to sigh. “Your parents should be here for this… Bail and Breha… Anakin and Padme…” Tears started to burn your eyes. “You shouldn’t be going through this without them.”

Leia stood up, walked up to you, and gently took your hands in her own. “Y/N, I need to be honest with you… I miss my parents—my adoptive parents. I hate that they aren’t here for this. And some part of me wished that my birth mother was here. But I’m having a hard time with the fact that Darth Vader was my father. He kidnapped and tortured me. He helped destroy Alderaan, killing my parents and my people. Not to mention all the things he did to you.” You bit your lip to keep yourself from saying anything or crying. “He was also capable of such darkness, which means that I am capable of that.”

“No, no, no, no, no. Leia. Yes, you have so much of your father in you, but you have so much of your mother in you as well. You decide if the darkness controls you, not your blood. And you were raised by parents who had so much goodness in them and instilled that in you as well. Please don’t worry about falling into the Dark Side. You are so much goodness and light. I know that my words cannot change or take away your concerns, but I hope you know that no matter what, I will be there for you.”

“I know.” Tears were forming in her eyes. “I am so grateful that you are my aunt. I am so lucky.”

“Not as lucky as I am.”

You both embraced each other, holding the other close for a long while. You were the one that pulled away first.

“Let’s get you ready,” you smiled. “I’ll help you into your dress and then we can worry about your hair.”

~~~

The wedding was beautiful. You shed a few tears, for various reasons. Han and Leia were both radiant, unable to keep their eyes off of one other. It reminded you of you and Obi-Wan. You couldn’t help but wonder if the two of you looked that happy during your small ceremony on Alderaan.

The next year flew by.

Luke eventually realized that you were not going to help him in the way he wanted. He accepted that and graciously took your help and advice as willingly given. He was still young in ways of the Force and knew that he could still learn much from you.

Leia and Han got pregnant quickly after their wedding. Leia had pulled you aside to tell you in private, worried about your reaction. You were overwhelmed with joy.

“Congratulations!” You exclaimed, bringing her in for a hug.

“You’re not mad? Or upset?” Leia questioned.

You pulled back, confused. “Why would I be?”

“Because… I… I know you wanted kids with Obi-Wan and were never able to.”

You gave her a small smile, as you cupped her cheek. “My dear Leia, I can be happy for you and sad for me at the same time. That is okay. I am so excited for you, though I do realize that I missed out on enjoying that part of life and seeing Obi-Wan enjoy it… I will be okay.”

Early in Leia’s pregnancy, both of you wondered if she would carry twins. It clearly ran in the family: with you and her birth father, and she and Luke. Together, though Leia was unsure, you used the Force to figure out that she was only having one child and that it would be a boy. You could feel out strong the Force was with him. It didn’t surprise you one bit as it was clear the Force was much stronger with your family than many others.

Even pregnant, Leia was a force to be reckoned with. She did not let growing a child inside her stop her from helping form the New Republic. You helped her and the other politicians as much as you could, relating too much to Obi-Wan’s opinion of politicians now. You were incredibly grateful for her upon your return to Coruscant. She wanted your help in the new Senate and you agreed to go.

Upon descending to the surface of the planet, your eyes immediately found the familiar outline of the Jedi Temple. You knew that it was still standing, as the Emperor used it as a hall of his parties, clearly showing his power. Leia noticed what you were staring at and took your hand in comfort, giving it a slight squeeze. She knew that this would be hard for you, but you were one of the few still alive that understood what the Republic was like—what it should have been— and able to help get the New Republic on the right track. Thankfully, once you weren’t needed anymore, Leia and you left quickly. The inching to go to the Jedi Temple had been growing but you knew that it would only drug up unhappy memories.

Leia insisted that you be at her side with Han when it came time for her to give birth. Han was even quick to agree with his wife because he was scared of becoming a father. You told them that you would be there and that both of them would be fine.

Of course, Leia and Han’s child would not come when it was convenient. Han and Chewie were with Lando, working on the Falcon on one of the large fleet ships. You and Leia were on a cruiser, heading back to the fleet, when you felt something shift.

“Leia, I need you to sit,” you ordered, trying to be calm.

“What?” Leia questioned. “Why?” Then she felt it, the first contraction.

You helped Leia to the floor to lay down, calling for someone to warn the fleet that Leia would need to be taken straight to the medical center upon arrival. Using the Force, though that baby boy was trying hard to fight against you, you kept Leia from delivering. When your cruiser arrived at the fleet, Han was on the ship before any of the medical team could board.

“Is she okay?” Han worried asked you as he knelt beside Leia.

“I’m… fine,” Leia groaned as another contraction moved through her.

You looked up at Han. “I can’t hold back this baby much longer,” you told him. “He’s fighting against me. We’ve got to get her to the medical center.”

Han nodded, not willing to waist another second. He scooped his laboring wife up in his arms and rushed out of the cruiser. You were right on his heels, not willing to not be at Leia’s side. Well, that was until you came to a sudden halt in front of the room Han took her into. It was almost an exact replica of the room Padme was in when she had the twins and…

“Y/N!” Han yelled as Leia cried out in pain. “We need you!”

You took a deep breath, having to swallowing down the hard memories, before entering the room. You went to the opposite side that Han was on. Leia was quickly grasping for your hand.

“I’m scared,” she admitted.

“It’s okay,” you tried to comfort, taking her hand between your two. “I’m right here.”

Leia cried out as the contractions worsened. You glanced up briefly to note the fear in Han’s eyes. You all knew what had happened to Leia’s mother after giving birth to her and Luke. There was a fear in each of you that perhaps, it would also happen to Leia.

“The baby is coming,” the medical droid informed the three of you. “It’s time to push.”

You and Han both winced as Leia’s gripped tightened while she pushed. You did your best to help her using the Force, but that little boy inside her was still trying to prevent you from doing so. Making a note to deal with it later, you pushed on as you tried to continue to help your niece.

Eventually, the baby boy was born, screaming and wailing. Your emotions took over at that point and you had to excuse yourself. You found a quiet room to fall to your knees and cry. It all reminded you too much of Leia’s birth, of those who weren’t here celebrating the birth with you, and reminded you of what you weren’t able to have.

Luke was the one to find you in that crying state. He didn’t know what to do, but it allowed him to see what your life had really done to you. You were so worn out and emotionally exhausted, yet you kept continuing, kept fighting. You put up a front to make it seem like you are holding it together, when you really just needed some time to fall apart without the burdens that had been placed on you. He timidly knelt beside you and placed a hand on your back. You looked at him with teary eyes, seeing how his eyes were full of sympathy.

“It’s okay,” Luke said, pressing out a smile. “I understand.”

You almost responded with that he didn’t, but you weren’t about to start that again. You gave him a thankful nod before wiping your tears and standing up. Together, you and Luke went into the room Leia had been moved to. Han was cradling the baby boy close to his chest, almost nervous to hold the tiny thing. He smiled when he saw you and Luke enter and came over.

“Here,” Han said, passing off the newborn to you. “You need to hold him.”

You willing took the newborn, remembering that the last newborns you had held where the twins.

“What did you decide to name him?” Luke wondered, peering down at the boy from over your shoulder.

You looked up and met Leia’s kind eyes. She smiled at you, almost like she was keeping a secret. The smile was still painted over her lips as she spoke, “His name is Ben.”

You gasped, knees threatening to buckle. Han was right at your side, ready to help you if needed.

“What?” You breathed out in shock.

“His name is Ben,” Leia repeated. “After your husband. He saved you and my father time and time again. He saved me and protected Luke. He was the reason we all united.”

You looked down at the small bundle in your arms. “Ben… It’s perfect.”

~~~

A few days later, you found yourself in the nursery rocking Ben to sleep. Both Han and Leia needed a break and you offered to take care of Ben, allowing the tired parents to rest. You were in the rocker, gently moving back and forth as you hummed an old tune your mother used to sing to you when you were young.

You could sense Obi-Wan near before he appeared. You didn’t bother looking up at him, instead choosing to focus on the babe in your arms.

“You are a natural with him,” Obi-Wan softly noted, a hint of sadness in his tone.

“I keep thinking what it would have been like if we had children…”

“They would have been so stubborn.”

“And adventurous.”

“And forthright.”

“They would have been fighters.”

“And strong with the Force.”

You let a light sigh fall from your lips. “Our children would have had the best father.”

“Oh my little star.” Obi-Wan took the few steps over and crouched down in front of you. His hand carefully landed on one of your knees. You met his loving gaze. “You would have been the most excellent mother… I wish that I could have granted you that opportunity.”

A few tears spilled out of your eyes. “I miss the life we never had… though, at the same time, I am grateful for the life we were able to have.”

Obi-Wan reached up and cupped your cheek, wiping the tears as they spilled. “I am so grateful for our life. The good, the bad, the amazing, the ugly. Every bit of it… I love you, little star.”

There was something in the way he told you he loved you that peeked your alarms. “What is it? Is something wrong?”

“I came to tell you that you wouldn’t be seeing me for a while.”

“A while? How long is that?”

“I don’t know, my dear. I just didn’t feel like disappearing on you was the best option.”

More tears escaped. “So you felt like coming while I was holding a baby was the best idea?”

Obi-Wan gave you a tight smile. “Please remember that even though you may not be able to see me or talk to me, that I’m always with you.”

“I don’t know if I can do that Obi… I need you…”

“And you’ll have me. Just not in the same way… I’m sorry, little star. But you can do this. We will be reunited again and maybe that day we will be reunited forever.”

“I love you, Obi-Wan… so much.”

“I love you, my little star.”

Obi-Wan leaned up and kissed your lips softly, not caring about the salty taste due to your tears. The kiss was long and full of love, though you also believed that it was too short. As soon as Obi-Wan pulled out, he was gone and Ben began crying.

You cooed as you tried to calm Ben. “It’s alright,” you whispered. “I’m right here… you’re going to be alright… we’re going to be okay… I’m going to be okay…”

#zuko is that cartoon character who hads bad luck but you know he's going to survive and will make you love him more...that's him

Mis publicaciones más populares este 2022:

I was thinking about the scene when Leia asked Obi Wan if he was her father. Someone said that his answer "I wish i was" implies he loved Padme (something platonic) or he wanted kids, etc.

But what i think in the moment it was he implies "it would be more easy to you if i was, but the truth could hurt you. It would be more easy if i was your father than the man your real father become."

Well, that was what i thought :)

Zukka week 2022

Day 6: accidental dating (or dads zukka)

Based on FLWOGB (@oldpotatoe), in one of the ways (I think, more headcanon) my favorite secondary character, Miura, noticing when Zuko and Sokka were flirting and practically acting like a couple.

And yes, also based in OFMD blackbonnet scene (love that coupleeeee❤).

[I love drawing Miura again, she is my favoriteeee!]

@zukkaweek

[ID: first drawing, showing a green/brown background, to be similar to a forest and a wood where Sokka and Zuko are sitting. Both are talking. Sokka is wearing his well-known water tribe robes, and Zuko a simple red/gold robe that remains a bit of his book 3 outfit, with the exception that Zuko's hair is more longer. Also both are with food or tea respectively. They seem happy together, with sparkle and little hearts around them.

In the second drawing, is Miura, OC from 'Feels like we only go backwards" by oldopotatoe in the middle, looking the interaction. She had a realization, and whispers "Oh Agni, this is happening", meanwhile Sokka and Zuko are smiling and blushing to each other, not noticing the Kyoshi Warrior. This two big obliviousness.

Zukka week 2022

Day 5: soulmates and chronic pain

In a world where everyone, after their 18th birthday, you start to share something with your soulmate. Something your other half needs to complete you.

Katara had dreams of a wonderful world, with no war, and the view from ocean or the sky. She had that faith in a better world only for these dreams.

(Hakoda and Kya were worried, because if she had dreams, a little bit of gray in her eyes, that mean her soulmate had 18 before she was born.)

(Then Kya died. Hakoda left. Sokka had no time for soulmates)

After the war, Sokka start to had memories from the day he comes to 18th. No, not memories. Nightmares. Pain. It's never gone, the feeling of not being enough, loneliness, being helpless, with no voice to scream.

Sokka knew his soulmate is Zuko.

But, why did Zuko never told him about their bond?

Why did he left him appart?

What is he truly hiding?

Zuko...

(Zuko always had five minutes to contemplate the blue in his eyes...always...)

@zukkaweek

[ID: background with blue, purple (cold), red and yellow (warm) colours mixed. Sokka and Zuko, divided in the middle, for lightnings/glass crashed. In the left side, in the back with red lines (from the top) is Kya with no clear face, Yue smiling, Hakoda giving his back, and a little view of the southern water tribe ships leaving the south in the middle of the night.

In the other side, warm colours, blue lines (from the top) is Ursa leaving Zuko, Azula laughing maniacally going mad, and Zuko in the Agni Kai where he got the scar, crying.

Zuko and Sokka, both with scared expressions, but Sokka is the one who can show more. Zuko is crying from his eye with the scar. Sokka had his hand buried in his loose, disheveled hair, desperately. Zuko had his hair almost loose, part of his chest with scars.

Sokka express where Zuko can't. Zuko just deal with the pain. END ID]

Ok, so I have noticed a lot of people portray THAT scene in TLJ as "Luke tried to kill a child!"

Now I have previously pointed out that Luke does not actually attempt to kill kylo, he thinks about it and seriously contemplates doing the deed, but he stops himself in shame

But that's not what I'm here to talk about

I want to talk about the "child" bit

Kylo was not a child

Official sources state these events happen 6 years prior to TLJ

Kylo is 29 in TLJ

He wasn't a child, he was a college graduate

He was older than Anakin when he fell

Hell, when Anakin was 23, he had been Vader for a year

When Obi-Wan was 23, it was 2 years before TPM

When Padme was 23, it was a year before AOTC

When Han was 23, it was 6 years before ANH (and therefore 3 years after Solo and 1 year before Rebels)

When Luke and Leia were 23, that was the events of ROTJ

Finn and Rose are 23 in TLJ

Kylo was no child, what happened was terrible, but it was not attempted (wasn't even really attempted) child murder, the bonds of trust broken here were not of child and adult, but mentor and student, uncle and mentor, and most importantly, it does not justify or exonerate kylo of what he's done, he was a grown man who made his own choices

hey so i was trying to explain to a friend how ace characters/narratives written by non-ace people sometimes just dont hit right (even when they are well meaning) and i so badly wanted to resort to just recc’ing your fox & leia stories to them. i guess this is my way of saying thanks again for writing toocb and the holiday special. they’re such a delicious & funky duo of works too, almost like a greek tragedy + satyr play or a fixit for a problem you created.

FIXIT FOR PROBLEM I CREATED. YEAH THAT'S IT. THAT'S IT YEAH. Literally had to deal with how sad the canon events of toocb were while writing by imagining a less depressing version ljaskdf. And tragedy & satyr play is a very cool way to put it!

In Star Wars, love is the most powerful thing. It's the most destructive force in the galaxy and it's the only thing that could save it. The Force and love are strongly linked, and love has caused the worst atrocities and greatest triumphs. If love is in a Star Wars story, it needs to be this explosively insane thing. Like, it has to go hard and people have to be fucking insane about it. Nobody can be normal about love in Star Wars. In a lot of ways, Star Wars is a story about love.

Romantic love is never qualified in that! Anakin & Padme's romantic love and Anakin & Obi-Wan's platonic love were equally cataclysmic to the galaxy. Han & Leia's romantic love showed how wartime and conflict can't extinguish the care two people can have for each other, and Luke & Anakin's love for each other restored hope to the galaxy. Jyn & Cassian, Baze & Chirrut - their bonds and loyalty to each other destroyed the Death Star and allowed them to die together instead of alone. As a kid I fucking loved how Luke didn't end up with anybody at the end, and how his happy ending was saving somebody's soul and relieving them of their suffering, and how a girl really didn't need to fit into that. Which is why DinLuke be dull as hell and JangObi I am looking at you too.

That was where I wanted Fox & Leia to fit. It was a love story. They loved each other. Briefly, purposelessly, uselessly. It didn't change the galaxy or change anybody's fate. The only thing it did was save somebody's soul and relieve them of their suffering. Meaningless! And the most important thing that ever happened in Star Wars.

Of course the Holiday Special is a lot more jokey and sitcom about it, but it gave me a lot more room to actually depict the relationship as it deserved to exist and how something so simple and uncomplicated is made complicated by their hierarchical and rigid society. And I think that's where it actually went into the more ace themes of your private relationship being relentlessly scrutinized & interpreted by people who can't really get it and who are missing the point. By necessity it was something private to them, but I think that's where they both liked it.

Honestly, I didn't even write it to be specifically ace. Like Fox and Leia did, I just decided on 'love' and stopped there. I don't know what they'd call their relationship in the Holiday Special and I think they'd both shrug about it.

I write a lot of stories with ace themes for a lot of reasons, but I think part of it is really just the fact that the topic encompasses every way we relate to each other and understand love. It opens up the structure and method of telling these stories, and allows us to talk about love in a different way. Once we kinda stop and go 'wait there's no rules actually' then I think we can start doing some really interesting stuff. It's really rewarding. I recommend it.

#my writing #you can see this ethos about sw in my roleswap series #and no chip au especially #where love is this catastrophic thing #that ruins a lot of lives #and just kinda motivates and powers everything in the stories #while along with my boba fett stuff hitting on #is love ENOUGH #like yes you love me enough to take coup an empire!#however do you love me enough not to be a deadbeat #hope 2 write another relationship like the fox&leia thing one day #not certain its replicable but im very fond of it

There is also the fact that the Old Jedi never knew the strenght of a father and Son bond just like they never understood that Anakin being worried for his Mom because of their bond wasn´t a bad thing or something to fear but something to protect and so when they thought about Anakin they only saw a power hungry sith they should have killed years ago, someone who had to pay for the fall of the Order, they didn´t ever consider Anakin/Vader always thought about family, they didn´t consider Anakin would love his child and want him to be at his side even as a sith, not just for some sith plot but because he is his Son and he loves him. Vader deliberately didn´t kill Luke or his friends in Bespin out of love for his Son and when Luke clearly wanted to get away from him he let him go, out of love for him.

I also consider quite cold the way Obi-Wan starts talking about Luke as if he was already lost just for going to Bespin, "that boy was our only hope" while Yoda answers "there is another" it makes them look like they think about Anakin´s children , Luke and Leia as just a means to their ends, never consider their wishes or perspective or the fact Padme and Anakin or the Organas and Lars would not have wanted that for them, because for Yoda and Obi-Wan the wishes of the parents were of no importance, even after losing their entire order, they are still acting with arrogance and entitlement over Anakin´s and Padme´s children so Luke had to forgive them as well to be able to forgive Vader and offer his father his love and his acceptance.

Hi! I was rewatching RotJ and I'm a bit confused as to what Yoda meant when he said "unexpected, this is" when Luke said that Vader told him he was his father. Did Yoda mean that it was unexpected that Vader realized Luke was his son or unexpected as in he didn't think Vader would even care? What's your take on it? (Luke and Vader's dynamic throughout the three movies is so fascinating, their scenes are my favourite in the trilogy)

It was unexpected that he would be called out on his lies omission. It was unexpected that Luke would have found out the truth. It was unexpected that Luke would care about his father. It was unexpected that Luke would be an independent actor capable of making his own moral decisions instead of just swallowing whatever bullshit Yoda and Obi-Wan spewed.

My Star Wars Fic Recommendations

Part One | Part Two | Part Three

Seeds of the Past -“Are you Luke Skywalker?” Ahsoka’s tone was a bit harsher than she would have liked, mostly due to a hoarse nervousness. It spurred a reaction though, as the man immediately turned to face her. Her eyes widened, as a familiar shade of blue stared back at her. The man bore a few distinct battle scars, but his face was youthful, his jaw square, his chin dimpled. His expression was surprised but gentle, sweet in its polite greeting. He raised his eyebrows for a split second, before responding with a shy smile and a nod. “I am. Can I help you, ma’am?”

Tainted Light - “I'm Luke Skywalker.” Cal's breath caught in his throat. Had the stranger not said it, he would never have guessed. “Cal Kestis,” he replied, holding out a hand and hoping Skywalker hadn't noticed his surprise. “I've been wanting to meet you.”

Momentum - Sometimes, Luke finds that he misses a few things from home. Luke and Leia share a quiet, peaceful moment on a Seswenna beach, and reflect on what they've lost.

The Family Amidala - Padmé lives. She runs.

Your Best Colors - Obi-Wan and Anakin aren't just a team, they are The Team. This series of loosely connected one-shots will explore the bond that makes them The Team through three different eras in their relationship.

To These Memories - After Darth Sidious is defeated, everything changes. Some for the better, others not so much. Mostly better though.

The Thought That Counts - Anakin tries to give Leia a compliment. It doesn't go over well.

Knightrise - There is no battle on Mustafar or in Coruscant's senate building. Instead, a small but still alive Jedi Order rises from its ashes on Mandalore.

Everything but Goodbye - When Anakin leaves the Jedi, he and Obi-Wan say everything but goodbye.

Supreme Chancellor Obi-Wan Kenobi - By and old Republic law, all members of the Jedi High Council are senators in the Galactic Senate, and can thus be voted in as chancellor. A Senator from a less prominent planet has had enough of Chancellor Palpatine’s incompetence and calls for for a Vote of No-Confidence and the instillation of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi as Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic.

A Guide to Jedi Antics by Captain Rex of the 501st Battalion - Anakin gets his first foundling, aka stumbled upon a Force-sensitive child in the middle of battle. Rex is tired.

What Should Have Happened - Anakin discovered that Palpatine was a Sith Lord, and now all he has to do is sit still in the Council room and let the Master Jedi handle it. But Palpatines plan to save Padme's life looms in his mind and it shakes him to his core. He leaves the Council room with no plan in mind, and find himself in the halls of healing asking for help. He didn't mean for them to put him in the psych ward. That is what honesty gets you. With his child about to be born, and his nightmares of Padme in distress increasing, has Anakin made a big mistake? Or is this the will of the Force?

Talking Smack - At a state dinner with Sheev Palpatine, Obi-wan Kenobi gets a little creeped out by Palpatine’s habit of prolonging physical contact with people longer than necessary, brushing hands, and otherwise touching people, especially Anakin. During dinner, he schemes with Padme for how to get creepy uncle palps to lay off.

Episode ???: A New Hope - One chance to fix everything. He could do this. He can do this. Obi-Wan had so many questions and very few answers. Just to get better, he’d have to deal with it cautiously - for now, no one could know what’d happened to him - and he had to pretend to be an unremarkable Initiate, while he decided which path he would guide the Order to save the galaxy. No pressure. He’d been once a GAR High General and he was never behind his paperwork. He could do this.

If the world was ending - Five times Ahsoka Tano caught a glimpse of just how much Obi-Wan Kenobi had an effect on Anakin Skywalker, and the one time she realized how much Anakin Skywalker meant to Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Perception - Clone Commander Fox is not fond of Senators nor how they abuse his men. Senator Riyo Chuchi is new and only knows what the media portrays about clones. Only time will show them the truth about each other.

Out of curiosity, do you have any good star wars fic recommendations that are pro Anakin? I've been trying to find them. Like I don't hate Obi-wan as a protagonist, but they're so ubiquitous and it gets old. it would be nice to read a fanfic that treats Anakin better.

Oh, yes, there are a number of fanfics out there that treat Anakin/Vader as a really great protagonist. My favorite ones are the time travel fix-it canon divergent AUs and the ones where he see him trying to be a dad to Luke and Leia. People in this fandom know how to make it both heartwarming and terrifying when he’s Vader, and it’s great.

The Truth by MJ Mink - This is probably my favorite canon-divergent AU fic. In this fic, Luke Skywalker is an essentially goodhearted, but rebellious 15 year old boy when meets his father Darth Vader. After losing his Aunt and Uncle Beru, he goes to live with his father. Of course, this fic takes place in the series after Anakin has become Darth Vader in the story, so he’s not always a good dad to Luke. There are some instances where he goes into the abusive parent territory, even if it’s not premeditated. While there’s no excuse for it, he has become so used to just being Palpatine’s deeply and horrifyingly angry, disillusioned, domineering, and merciless attack dog/galactic dictatorial enforcer/murder servant Darth Vader.

Understandably, it’s not just this easy cycle for Anakin to break right away after spending 37-40 years as both the perpetrator and/or victim of systematic abuse of power, crime, manipulation, oppression, and violence to deal with problems and threats under corrupt male toxic authority figures from whom healthy support and safe escape was always highly risky. However, Anakin’s greatest morality pet is his son Luke and family in general. That’s true in this fic too, which is why he gets better at being a good dad to Luke over time the closer they become.

While never putting up with his dad’s shit, Luke also does learn to ultimately forgive and love his father, the more Anakin softens up towards him, and the more he learns about just how tragically fucked up and unfair his dad’s entire life has been.

It’s a really great story with plenty of really great angst, character development, and humor. This Luke isn’t pro Sith because I mean, look at the crimes they commit! However, after hearing his dad’s story, he’s not really pro-Yoda, Obi-Wan, and the old Jedi Order’s way either. He’s neutral, which I really like. Although the Jedi started out as the good guys in the SW universe, it quickly became apparent that most of them only got to hold that title because the Sith were their only competition who were far worse. It always bugged me that we could never get a SW canon story that had more characters pointing out that both sides suck, and deciding not to be either as a result. The closest we got to that in canon was Ahsoka Tano, but the Mouse ruined that too.

Test of Time Book 1: A Father’s Son by AngelDesaray - This is a whole story of Luke Skywalker being thrust back in time by the force, learning about his father, bonding with his father, and changing the entire future by stopping him, Obi-Wan, and the Jedi Council from falling for Palpatine and doing all their other bullshit. It’s followed up by Test of Time Book 2: The Past Meets the Future and Test of Time Book 3: Blood, Sweat, and Tears. The sequels follow the Skywalker family in the alternate future that Luke created after going back in time, particularly Anakin and Luke. The first two fics in this series are complete. The third one still hasn’t been marked as complete yet. There’s also a series of cute, fluffy, and funny one shots that talk about the years in between the alternate timeline with Anakin, Padme, Luke, and Leia as a happy family called Life as a Skywalker. Yeah, Obi-Wan makes appearances as Anakin’s and the Skywalker family’s friend, and, occasionally the twins irritated babysitter, considering the fact that this version seems to have learned from his mistakes with Anakin, but he’s not a main character.

Future Imperfect by TheRealThing - A time travel fic where Anakin is sent 19 to 23 years in to the future to witness the consequences of his and the overall Jedi Order’s actions.

Ambient Dreams by sohna - After his dream of Padme dying in childbirth, Anakin has another dream of what will happen if he pledges himself to Palpatine to try to keep her from dying in childbirth. Obi-Wan and Yoda are there, but Anakin’s the main character, not them.

There are a lot more on ff.net and ao3.org in the Star Wars sections, but these Anakin/Vader fics stick out the most to me.

I feel like one of the big upsides to Qui-Gon living long enough to see Ahsoka join the lineage is that I can see him unquestionably agreeing to let her learn how to braid hair on him. Obi-Wan just chopped off his mullet and Skyguy's still growing out his padawan cut, but Qui-Gon's got long hair, and Ahsoka finds hair fascinating because she doesn't have any (except her eyelashes), and Ahsoka learns how to do Padme-and-Leia-level hair nonsense with Qui-Gon as her indulgently willing Weird Dad/Grandpa/whateverheissheisn'tsurehe'smaybejustanuncle??

I think there's something just inherently really tender and loving in the act of doing someone's hair for them. Maybe it's because they can't do it themself, maybe it's because you're better at it, maybe it's just because you want to, but the act of gathering someone's hair in your hands just gently enough to keep from hurting them, but tight enough that they can feel you working, the warmth of your presence against their back... that makes me INSANE.

This is doubly detrimental for my rapidly crumbling sanity when we're talking about it specifically in the context of padawan braids. There's just something inescapably sweet and compelling about a master redoing their padawan's braid for them, re-confirming that they want them, that they're here to help and guide and support in whatever way they need it. Every time they take the time to rebraid, it's a renewal of a covenant—an expression of devotion.

I think that at least for some Jedi, braiding someone else's hair—not just the padawan braid, but all hair, especially after knighting—becomes something not just akin to saying 'I love you,' but more than that. For Ahsoka, whose lineage is composed almost entirely of humans but doesn't have any hair, that's gotta be a little isolating; she's missing out on a tradition and bonding exercise that goes back multiple generations. It's not just that she's fascinated by hair (which she is, because keratinous strands growing out of people's heads is weird), it's that hair braiding is something she wants to participate in, even if Skyguy can't do it for her.

So Qui-Gon inviting her in, patiently teaching her how to braid his hair—it's not just cute and sweet and a little embarrassing when the braid is lumpy and lopsided—it's her being welcomed. It's her being loved.

#sorry nixy you unknowingly hit upon something that makes me absolutely crazy #it's about the TENDERNESS the DEVOTION the FIXING OF TOUCH STARVATION #...i may be touch demented #anyways fantastic idea 10/10 I'm screaming #asks #phoenixyfriend #star wars #star wars au #qui gon lives #qui gon and ahsoka #willow's aus

MY FAV STAR WARS COUPLE DYNAMICS:

(for the sake of this post let's all just pretend no one dies, ok?)

Anakin - Padme: their relationship started with pure drama and really bad, corny pick up lines and it just goes on that way. Even when they are happily exiled on Naboo with their children and everyone knows about them, whenever they talk about their love or tell the story to Luke and Leia it's always with the tones of a 'larger than life situation'. Obviously Anakin is the drama queen who really pushes it (and is still salty he had to give up his title as Jedi Master) but Padme fell for him when he did the whole whiny speech about sand and married him, she secretly supports this s***t! 😝

Han - Leia: bickering is their love language. Screaming to impose supremacy is their flirting. The thing is, they never bicker for serious stuff, because they actually agree on what matters and get along as a couple, it's the principle of things! Sometimes a friend of Ben overhears them and goes 😱 "I'm really sorry for intruding on this, pal. Will your parents be alright?" And Ben with the calmest expression will answer "They literally do this all the time". It's the silence that's worriesome. When Leia is just too tired to keep fighting after hours of doing so with politicians, when Han doesn't bother to stay to face the argument and just hops on the Falcon again, THAT'S when they realise they are falling out. So they push duty and lust for adventure aside to go back spending quality time together and patching things up. Sure enough, the bickering starts again and Ben is like "😌 aaah everything is fine again".

Din - Luke: they are the picture perfect couple. They literally never argue, at best they poke eachother when one of the two does something the other doesn't entirely agree on. They have each other's back in any instance, support every choice and are there for backup when others want a fight or have something to say either on Din's leadership or Luke's approach to the Jedi code and teachings. It took them forever to actually get together because they acted like shy teenagers on their first crush and Leia, Han and Cara had to practically push them into each other's arms, but once they got there they were solid a couple as a rock. Others look at them and think they are either disgustingly mushy or still in a 'honeymoon face', because NO ONE has such a stress-free marriage. Din and Luke truly don't get what the fuss and all the drama's about. So even though they end up practically parenting the space version of the kids from 'Cheaper by the dozen' they act like parental figures to their friends as well. Life as Manda'lor and the Reviver of the Jedi order can be hell, but together they are just balanced like that and can face everything! They even create a new co-op fighting style for Jedi/Mandalorians that becomes the terror and amazement of the Galaxy for centuries to come!😌😏💪

Kannan - Hera: very similar to Dinluke except they do at times have some small moments of tension because Hera is a fighter to the core and Kannan can't help but wonder if the battle will ever truly end. But his queen's passion and resolve is so bright and steeled that he can't help but fall in love a little more every time and follow, knowing it's the right thing to do. They have an example to set for their son, after all. Kannan will absolutely love Jacen and will introduce Ezra to his son (once Sabine and Ashoka bring him back) as his older brother. Much like when he trained Ezra or faced Sabine, Kannan will sometimes doubt himself and wonder if he's acting like a good parent to Jacen. Hera will smile and reassure him, describing to him the bright and happy smile on their son's face or how Jecen's nose scrunches and his long, greenish ears wiggle in delight whenever Kannan plays with him or cuddles him. As Hera says so, Kannan holds her and feels like he can actually see it too.

Sabine - Ezra: After Ezra is brought back to his family from wherever or whatever happened to him after facing Thrawn, both of them will just indulge in sudden hugs or touches to make sure the other is actually there. Of course, they first think of their bond as a solid friendship and camaraderie, because that's what it was when they left off. The extra touching is just the response to being apart for so long and being worried for each other. But then Sabine notices that Ezra actually looks really good with long hair and the scruffy beard he grew out. She catches herself thinking of how warm and safe if feels in his arms and mentally kicks herself because she's a Mandalorian, all she should need is a loaded blaster to feel safe. Ezra, on the other hand, starts playing with Sabine's hair when complimenting her new dye and suddenly finds himself cupping her face like it's the most natural thing in the world. Long story short, they fall for eachother hard and become the prototype of the couple "my boyfriend/girlfriend is my best friend". When they are comfortable with their new status, Ezra goes back flirting dorkishly with her like he did all those years back when they first met and Sabine will tease him by shooting his advances down.

Ashoka - Bo Katan: joke's on Bo-katan for cringing back in the day at her sister's relationship with a Jedi. She thought destiny or the force or whatever was really messing with her when she realized that her rival and pupil, Din Djarin, the new leader of Mandalorians was also falling helplessly in love with a Jedi (Obi-Wan's student nonetheless). When she hears Sabine Wren and her Jedi boy also got together she stops questioning it. The thing is that she herself has been inexplicably, undeniably charmed and hooked to a Jedi for years now. The very same Jedi she had teased didn't have enough booty, what felt like a lifetime prior. But she's Bo-Katan, she can be in angry denial about anything. Ashoka, on the other hand, has seen and has been conditioned too much on what attachment does to a Jedi, even if she doesn't consider herself one anymore. So, even if the chemistry between them and the long lingering stares are real, their love is always kept a quiet, unspoken thing. Whenever they call eachother "my old friend" they know they actually mean more, but leave it at that. Everyone around them can't help wondering 'are they a thing or...?!' but they never feed the theories and gossip. They know what they are and mean for each other when they are alone in the same room, talking about the past or what must be done in the future and Ashoka's mere presence is enough to cool down the ever-present burning rage inside of Bo. Meanwhile, the other can't help but admire how single minded and devoted to her people and culture the Mandalorian princess is, how she never gave up on them, despite everything. They smile softly at each other, then one of them breaks the spell by leaving. They go back to their own business and life untill destiny or the force or whatever brings them back into eachother's orbit.

Revan - Carth: normally they act very much like Leia and Han with the bickering and teasing bit but then Revan has one of her memories returning or is haunted by how she basically condemned her lifelong best friend Malak to a terrible death and Carth instantly does a 180° shift becoming the most caring, comforting and tender partner. She'll hide into his chest until the crisis in over. Sometimes it can go on for days and Revan is oh, so grateful of how patient and good Carth is to her. Then, at times, Carth is the one burying his head in her chest and she's the one doing the tender, hair strokes. Carth needs a lot of reassuring and might get upset and fret over even what appears to be a trivial thing. He's trying to heal and get better but the long, long years of solitude, hurt and paranoia are hard to iron down. Expecially when Carth seems to have an instinct that puts a Jedi to shame, foreseeing a crisis neither she nor Bastila had picked up. But he is making an effort to improve and she's proud of him, even as he tries very clumsily to patch things up with his son Dustil. She doesn't really step in that matter more than she has to, since Dustil is clearly not happy nor comfortable with the idea of them being together yet. Carth will sometimes open his heart to her and say something deeply meaningful on how he wants her to stay ( when she looks particularly haunted and about to leave without a work of warning) and be happy but does so with such awkward word choices that Revan just cannot refrain from laughing at his face and making puns. It's at this point that the back and forth teasing resumes. There is no denying they are still deeply wounded individuals and they are at their best when their friends are there to lighten the mood and show love to the both of them. Because they could easily go down the path of drama like Anakin and Padme but they choose the Ebon Hawk crew shenanigans instead.

Obi Wan - Satine: their love is stored in the memory of that glorious time they spent together in their youth. A moment in which no responsibility or sense of honor could keep them from giving in to that feeling of want and need for each other. It's a love that never truly went away, never left space for anyone else, but it never fully grew and bloomed either. So years down the line, that's what it is for Obi-Wan, a pleasant memory. He would never change how things went afterwards, but he wouldn't give up those memories and feelings for anything in the world. Satine feels the same, mostly. There are nights that she falls asleep wondering what could have been if only she had talked up at the decisive moment and dreams of a life spent together with Obi-Wan. But when she wakes up, she sobers up and goes back to her things. It's when she looks at her Korkie smile and notices how resembling to his secret father he is that she is truly at peace. She managed to keep a peace of Obi-Wan in her life.

Cal - Merrin: I have no idea for this one, but just stop and consider the possible 'nightsisters babies' though! Wouldn't they be the cutest things ever?! 😀

Sorry Cara Dune, you just haven't met the woman of your life yet. 😔

Also, I kinda like Zeb and Callus too but I don't really ship them enough to add them here, you know? Anyway I'm sure they make a lovely couple.

thanks to this gorgeous art by @hrtiu I’ve thinking about Thornidala and this AU happened

Thorn doesn’t die on Scipio. Because I said so. He does need some extensive surgery to both his chest and his brain, and parts of his brain need to be replaced with cybernetic implants, but he’s still fit for duty.

after Anakin leaves for the Outer Rim sieges Padme’s left alone and Thorn is escorting her places as part of her security detail and they become buddies

when Padme finds out she’s pregnant Thorn is the only person she tells ... because he caught her puking into a trash can in her office between Senate meetings

she keeps missing opportunities to tell Anakin on the rare occasions they get to talk (she was going to break the news to him during their chat when he was on Anaxes before they got interrupted)

Padme and Thorn continue to bond during this time, and Thorn starts to catch feelings; even though he can’t be with Padme and he can’t ever play a proper fatherly role to the baby, he still feels protective of them

(using singular baby because in ROTS they didn’t know she was having twins until it was time to deliver)

The events of ROTS happen and everything goes to shit. Because Thorn suffered head injuries on Scipio that required extensive surgery and cybernetic implants, his inhibitor chip was unknowingly removed, so when he receives That Order he’s like “um ... what? doesn’t make sense but okay”

instead of going to hunt down Jedi he goes to Padme’s - she’s a Senator after all, and if the Jedi are attempting an overthrow of the Senate she’ll need protection, right?

he sits with her as they watch the Jedi Temple burn and she leans her head on his shoulder and cries kinda like she does in the movie

when she goes to Mustafar Thorn insists on going with her - he doesn’t know everything going on with Anakin but he does know that Mustafar is in Separatist space so he feels duty-bound to go and protect his friend

at first he stays on the ship at Padme’s insistence, but after Anakin chokes her out and starts fighting Obi-Wan he carries her back onboard and sits with her until Obi-Wan returns

Padme may be injured from being Force-choked and heartbroken, but she doesn’t die Because I Said So. She survives childbirth and gets to hold her babies.

Obi-Wan and Bail Organa make arrangements for Padme, Thorn, and the babies to go into hiding.

(Thorn will eventually catch wind that there are some rogue clones running around and that they’re not only avoiding the Empire but actively fighting against them. He’s tempted to go find them but he can’t bring himself to leave Padme or the babies.)

It takes a few years for Padme to reciprocate Thorn’s feelings. Like she catches on that he likes her as more than a friend, but it takes a while for her to address it because she’s grieving the loss of her marriage to Anakin, not to mention busy raising Luke and Leia and helping Bail with the Rebellion on the down-low.

She realizes she likes him back out of the blue one day, when she’s watching him play with the kids and thinking about how good he is with them, how he’s really stepped into the role of Dad, and how he’d been her rock the entire time they’ve been friends.

is she skittish about the prospect of starting another relationship and falling in love again? Of course she is, especially since her husband became a Sith Lord and betrayed everything she held dear ... presumably out of love for her.

(she wouldn’t trade her time with Anakin for anything though, with all its ups and downs, especially since she got two rambunctious little blessings out of it)

(does she know how to broach the subject of the kids’ biological father to them? nope, that’s Future Padme’s problem)

but she does talk with Thorn about how she feels, and they decide to give it a shot

Rebel Spy Power Couple? Rebel Spy Power Couple.

are they thrilled when Leia wants to take a more active role in the Rebellion and Luke wants to train to become a Jedi with Obi-Wan? Not really, it’s dangerous after all (and they’re scared that Luke might go the same way as Anakin) but they still support the kids in their endeavors.

they eventually have to have that uncomfortable conversation about Anakin with the kids after the events on Bespin (Padme is also ready to go bitchslap Vader herself after he cut off Luke’s hand and kidnapped Leia a few times)

Padme and Thorn both make it to the end of the Galactic Civil War, still very much in love, and they sit together under a tree on Endor as they watch the fireworks, the revelry, and Luke and Leia enjoying the company of their friends

(Thorn doesn’t care much for Han, he thinks Leia can do better, but what can he do? Leia’s stubborn and has a mind of her own, just like her mother)

#thornidala #padme amidala #commander thorn #I collect clone rarepairs like Grievous collects lightsabers #clone wars #star wars #my writing
